Interwrite Learning™ Announces Donation of Interwrite Pads to Next Generation of Teachers Project of UNESCO Bangkok

Interwrite Learning™ donates 30 Interwrite Pads across the Asia-Pacific region as part of a UNESCO organized project

Columbia, MD — November 6, 2007 — Interwrite Learning™, a premier global provider of interactive learning solutions, today announced the donation of 30 Interwrite Pads across multiple countries and universities participating in the Next Generation of Teachers (NextGen) project of UNESCO Bangkok. The Interwrite Pad is the number one leading wireless pad worldwide and gives teachers the ability to teach interactive lessons from anywhere in the classroom.

Alice Yang, Regional Sales Manager of Interwrite™’s Hong Kong office, implemented the donation and organized resellers to become the delivery agent for the Pads to the different universities and countries involved, which include China, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. Yang coordinated the deliveries and attended training sessions and demonstrations for additional products.

“It is an honor to donate Interwrite™ products for such an influential project that shares the same goal as Interwrite Learning™,” said Yang. “We all want to help merge technology and education for a more engaging and interactive educational experience and now that our voices are combined, we are seeing the positive impact upon students who truly benefit from our help.”

The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Education unit of UNESCO Bangkok initiated the NextGen project with Microsoft Asia and the Pacific Region as the primary partner. The three-year project will flow on building the capacity of the teacher education institutions (TEIs) to prepare pre-service teachers for ICT-enhanced classrooms. Thirty TEIs from ten countries in the Asia-Pacific region will benefit from this project. Through the project, the pre-service teachers in the TEIs across the region are expected to learn a variety of instructional approaches utilizing ICT and will gain the flexibility required to bring the benefits of ICT into classrooms and improve the quality and reach of education.

The donation and training of the Interwrite™ Pads will help educators in the TEIs explore and harness the potential of this mobile and flexible learning technology for teacher training. This will create a lasting effect in the community, as the next generation of teachers in this region will be exposed to the emerging learning technologies and can gain the competencies demanded in a new learning environment. Pre-services teachers will gain the latest ICT technology before they become in-service teachers. The ICT knowledge that is gained by pre-service teachers from the Next Gen project and donation of the Interwrite™ Pads can last longer.
